Retrotastic: New Consoles Accept Old Games

January 9, 2008 by Dan in Cool with 3 Comments

I LOVE vintage games. I have an XBox 360 and my most played game is PacMan, so it should be no surprise that a console that will play old games appeals to me.

You know those “20 in 1″ classic gaming joysticks/emulators that you can buy in Wal-Mart? Screw them. The real deal is the Retro Duo and Gen X from importers Innex. The former is a tiny console that accepts NES and SNES cartridges, which the latter takes Sega Master System and Genesis/Mega Drive slabs. [...]

I’ve got no idea why these guys can just sell multisystem clones of old consoles (Innex says that the systems they carry are based on lapsed patents) but I’m happy they do. It’s certainly more “legal” than downloading ROMS and old tape images and what-have-you.

Or, you could just hook up your old systems..

if they work – I don’t think my old nintendo does…..

does anyone know where to get these systems? and how they compare with other retro clone systems (I’m pretty sure I’ve sen at least one other console that played both NES and SnES
